🌈 At Family Pet Veterinary Center, Everyone BelongsπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Our mission has always been to provide compassionate care, not only for pets, but for the people who love them.

We believe that every client, patient, and team member deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect, regardless of their background, identity, beliefs, or personal preferences. Creating a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment isn't something we practice for one month of the year, it's part of who we are every day.

As we recognize Pride Month, we want our LGBTQ+ team members, clients, friends, and community members to know that you are valued, respected, and welcome here.

At Family Pet Veterinary Center, we expect all interactions between clients and team members to reflect our core values of Compassion, Communication, Quality, Consistency, and Service. We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels safe being themselves and can focus on what matters most- the health and well-being of the pets we all love.

Thank you for helping us build a community rooted in respect, acceptance, and compassion.

Highlighting one of our leaders, Asher!

Asher recently celebrated their 7 year Work-iversary with Family Pet Veterinary Center. Asher is a fantastic technician and leader.

They bring a level of calm and consistency to our most chaotic moments, making not only the patients and clients feel safe and supported but our team as well!

We appreciate Asher and their dedication to us and you! If you have an opportunity to talk with them in the near future, be sure to thank them for their 7 years of hard work and compassionate care! πŸŽ‰πŸΎπŸ˜»
